About this listen
Emma McAvoy may have grown up in the limelight, but some secrets are hidden in a darkness no light can reach. Now on the verge of a successful career, and having fallen in love with the man of her dreams, Emma is looking to the future. Yet it’s the past that is about to catch up with her.
For Emma, her childhood had been almost like a rags-to-riches fairy tale - until the tragic night that changed her family forever. But what Emma thinks she knows about that terrible night and the man she’s about to marry is only half the truth. The other half is locked away in the last place she’d ever think to look: her own memories. It’s a mystery a handsome and relentlessly driven homicide detective needs to solve in a case that’s haunted him for years - and a secret someone will kill to keep.

It was ok, but I almost gave up because of the narratorHow would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
A different narratorHow could the performance have been better?
Using someone who could actually read with a southern English accent as many of the characters are EnglishDid Public Secrets inspire you to do anything?
NoAny additional comments?
What a shame, I usually look forward to and enjoy Noras' audiobooks.Does anyone vet the narrators? It would have been obvious from the start that this person was unable to perform london accents and her Irish accent was only marginally better.Okay story ruined by dreadful narrator

Renee Raudman certainly seems to think so, I’m from Yorkshire in the north of England, and we certainly don’t acknowledge that Londoners speak like the way she portrays it. I’m equally angry at English speakers trying to speak with a false American accent , so I’m not being picky I don’t think. Please All narrators, do a little bit of research before assuming we all sound like the horrible accent Ms Raudman gave this book. I have returned books to audible because although the story was great, I just couldn’t listen to the narration

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
I love Nora's books, except when they are set in Ireland or England. The constant americanisms and horrible mangled attempts at accents ruin the story.If you’ve listened to books by Nora Roberts before, how does this one compare?
Aweful narration, as bad as her irish novels.Who might you have cast as narrator instead of Renee Raudman?
The one who reads her In Death Series or the Virgin River books by Robyn CarrCould you see Public Secrets being made into a movie or a TV series? Who would the stars be?
Dont watch films or tvAny additional comments?
Editors please make sure irish or english characters can speak their own language, not americanisms, and get actors/actresses who can do the accents corrctly. I gave up reading this book halfway through - as an englishwoman I couldnt understand the so-called cockney accents!Appalling narration - I gave up halfway through
